One of the most diverse lineups in the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival's 19-year history was released Tuesday morning, and it features acts such as Australian psychedelic multi-instrumentalist Tame Impala, L.A. rockers Tool, singer/actress Miley Cyrus, and Lizzo, this year's music sensation and the festival's first female headliner.
The lineup also features Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit, rapper DaBaby, Run the Jewels, Glass Animals, Young the Giant, The 1975, Flume, and mini-super group Oysterhead, featuring Trey Anastasio of Phish, Stewart Copeland of The Police and Les Claypool of Primus, which is also on the lineup. Tenacious D, the music project of actors Jack Black and Kyle Gass, will perform Saturday, June 13.
Fans will also see Talking Heads drummer Jerry Harrison and King Crimson/David Bowie/Frank Zappa multi-instrumentalist Adrian Belew join Turkauz in a celebration of the 40-year anniversary of the release of the Talking Heads classic "Remain in Light" album.

Returning is the Grand Ole Opry featuring guests Andy Frasco, Larkin Poe, The Regrettes and others. DJ Bassnectar also makes a return to the Great Stage Park, the 700-acre farm in Manchester, Tennessee, where the four-day festival will be held June 11-14. Tickets go on sale Thursday at noon at bonnaroo.com/tickets. Prices range from $319 for general admission to $3,275 for the four-day Platinum package.
The festival sold out of all 80,000 tickets last year for the first time in several years, and organizers and fans give much of the credit to a push by the festival to add and improve the overall fan experience by creating more activities in the Plazas, the area where most fans camp. These include the addition of more shade, free public Wi-Fi, charging stations, misting stations, showers, restrooms, medical and safety stations, information booths and programming for festival fans that are separate from the musical acts and activities found in Centeroo, the main part of the venue.
Hayley Williams of Paramore will return to curate an improved "Roo's Sanctuary of Self Love," House of Yes will host Bonnaroo's second annual Pride Parade, and festivalgoers can grab an eclectic slice of Nashville at The Ville, for example.
